The aftermath

So I've finally posted my day 90 photos....pretty damn pleased with overall outcome.  Wanted to blog on my post PCP celebration lunch with Ren which was a spur of the moment decision to go to a US steak joint in Tokyo called Ruth's Chris steak house (I should have realised before we went that any restaurant sporting such a ludicrous name was bound to spell trouble).

The two glasses of wine were lovely (of course!) although I regretted them later in the office....but the food was shocking...there was just so MUCH of it.  Tomato and onion salad...two massive tomatoes and a pile of onions slathered in dressing...then a burger.  A MASSIVE burger, fries, three slices of cheese.  Why 3?  What's wrong with one?  Bacon....ye gads.  But this was as nothing to the apple pie.  It was a whole pie.  I kid you not - it was enough for four people.  It must have been 3000 calories at the inside.  Terrible terrible terrible thing.  I ate less than 20% of it....and spent the rest of the day feeling sick.  Never again - I've even told Naz she has permission to remind me when next I'm tempted by the thought of it rather than the reality.

So...it shows that PCP does work.  Naz and I have had probably over 60% of our meals since finishing PCP compliant....why change?
